In iTunes, you do need to have the CD in the computer. Unfortunately,
you can't play around with (as far as I know) the metadata on a CD,
unlike the EXIF data on a digital photo. MP3 players should keep the
tracks in the same order as they are on the CD, but how this is
handled on a Blackberry, I wouldn't have a clue, as the only time I
have used Blackberries is to make jam.

Do you know of a way to do it without the CD inserted, as David Stowe

Incidentally, I renamed the whole lot of mine to include the album and
track number at the start of the name. I don't want them listed in
the player in alphabetical order, it just makes it even harder to find
them, I want them in the same order as on the CDs. I have mine on my
Blackberry (Bold), and it lets me find them just by typing in part of
the name, very fast (assuming they're splled correctly). (I'm not
suggesting the Gracenotes database be updated like that, I'm someone
would hate it.)

Peter,
The Gracenotes facility allows any one to enter or amend track names
and other CD data. I have done this myself on several rather obscure
CDs (eg an album of miners blues from Asturias, Spain).
Cheers,

Not mine, I must have corrected it. Does anyone know how to make ad

For those wondering what this is all about, when you use something
like iTunes to extract the CD tracks to a computer, it looks up the
track names in an online database (called Gracenotes?). The names it
returns are those that were kindly typed in by the first person who
did the process and wasn't happy to find the names were returned as
just track numbers. Thank you, whoever you are.
Now, if we could just get the corrections done.
